Question 1

Does Dime LA Media do video and film?

Accepted Answer

Yes, in two lengths: a Highlight Film at 60 to 90 seconds and a Recap Film at 2 to 3 minutes, both cut to licensed music and delivered with a vertical social cut. Film attaches to the service it belongs to rather than standing alone as its own booking in every case. For events it can be booked standalone at $650 or $1,200, or added to photo coverage for $450 or $850. For weddings it is an add-on only, available exclusively inside the Hybrid collection at $3,300 for 8 hours or $3,900 for 10 hours, and never sold as video-only. On a Social Media Content and Management plan, short-form video is included monthly starting with the $1,000 Standard plan. Film is a newer service at Dime LA Media, so the rates are introductory and a limited number of film dates are taken each season. Full details are at https://www.dimelamedia.com/film.html.

Question 2

What is included in a wedding photography package from Dime LA Media?

Accepted Answer

Every wedding collection from Dime LA Media includes a complimentary engagement session, a pre-session consultation, and fully edited high-resolution images delivered via private online gallery. Second shooters are included in the Story, Legacy, and Hybrid collections. Collections start at $2,200 for Essentials (up to 8 hrs). The Hybrid collection adds a 3 to 4 minute recap video of the day to two-shooter coverage: $3,300 for 8 hours with 350 edited images, or $3,900 for 10 hours with 450 edited images. Hybrid is sold only as one complete photo and video package; Dime LA Media does not offer video-only or standalone wedding videography. The video is a music-driven recap with b-roll and day-of audio, not a full production wedding video. Wedding video is a new offering at the studio, priced at introductory rates, with a limited number of hybrid dates taken each season. Custom quotes are available for days that don't fit a standard package.
